15/10/09 - Exclusive: Daley v Condit set for UFC 108
Paul ‘Semtex’ Daley (22-8-2) is set to fight Carlos Condit at UFC 108 on January 2nd, it was confirmed to Fighters Only today.
A source close to the fight says that both men have verbally agreed to the meeting, which will be Daley’s second UFC outing. His first was a sunning first-round blitz on Martin Kampmann at UFC 103, earning the UK welterweight a host of new fans with his explosive style.
His win over Kampmann was his third consecutive victory and he immediately became embroiled in a war of words with Mike Swick afterwards. Swick was originally supposed to face Kampmann at UFC 103 but was forced to withdraw with an injury.
Condit is a former WEC welterweight champion. He moved to the UFC when te WEC collapsed its 170lb division earlier this year. His first fight in the UFC was a decision loss to Kampmann, but he has since earned a win over Jake Ellenberger to take him 24-5
UFC 108 is pencilled in for January 2nd at the Mandalay Bay Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada and is rumoured to feature a headline bout between Anderson Silva and Vitor Belfort.
